Life of the Skies: Birding at End of Nature
by Jonathan Rosen

Over cities and jungles and open plains, the sky is animated by the flight of birds, and their presence reminds us of the wild element of life on earth that can never be suppressed. In "The Life of the Skies," Jonathan Rosen explores the significance of this timeless pursuit, chronicling his own birding adventures alongside those of John James Audubon, Teddy Rooseevelt, and others. In the process, he discovers the interconnections--literary, philosophical, scientific, and spiritual--between life on the ground and life up above. Richly researched, lyrically written, "The Life of the Skies "is "a tribute to the natural world and man's place in it" ("Bloomberg News").

"Birding is so much more than just outdoor recreation. Its sources are woven into history and legend, and its pleasures are ultimately spiritual. Jonathan Rosen has captured all this to deliver a rare and beautiful piece of literature."
--Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
